Why use our Cinnamon Cassia?

This recipe was tested with our Cinnamon Cassia which is ...

  • Darker, reddish-brown color
  • Stronger, more intense flavor
  • Slightly sweet with a kick of heat

The commercial-grade cinnamon that you see in grocery stores differs significantly from our metal-tested, freshly-ground, small-batch version. Once you try freshly ground cinnamon, you'll never go back.
